More GOP absentees in 20th race toss-up

Tedisco gaining; Murphy lead cut to 6 votes

ALBANY — Republicans have so far returned more of the absentee ballots that will decide the race in New York’s 20th Congressional District.

Democrat Scott Murphy leads Republican Jim Tedisco by six votes out of more than 154,000 cast. State Board of Elections spokesman Bob Brehm said reporting Thursday from Dutchess and Warren counties show Tedisco closing the gap. The count is 77,208 for Murphy and 77,202 for Tedisco, Brehm said.

The state board says nearly 3,000 ballots returned so far are from Republicans; about 2,200 are from Democrats.

Party registration does not guarantee a party line vote. Most absentee ballots won’t be counted until April 7; Overseas ballots can be returned until April 13.

Counties also have 940 absentees back from voters not registered as Republican or Democrat.

The race is to succeed Kirsten Gillibrand, who was named to the U.S. Senate.
